We have your favour of 8th inst. addressed (presumably in error) to our Branch Establishment at South Shields. The Indicator you refer to is perhaps the one supplied by us in May 1924 - seven and a half years ago - and very possibly by this time it is not in ideal condition. This was one of our early models and in the interval both the design and manufacture have been very considerably improved, as set forth in our latest Circular herewith. If you are thinking of having a new instrument of the latest type, we should be glad to shew you this model either by sending one to your Works - though it is not possible for us to do so for trial purposes, as instruments of this nature usually shew signs of having been used - or if you would like to have a Representative any time in this district who would like to see it here. Our present price for the Indicator as now made would be £165. 0. 0 less special 10% discount to your goodselves. Yours faithfully, DOBBIE McINNES & CLYDE LTD. [Signature] MANG. DIRECTOR. ENCLOSURE 16. RECEIVED Terms (unless otherwise arranged):—Goods delivered Glasgow. Packing Cases Charged for. Monthly A/c Net.
